The court's 6-3 conservative majority has expanded gun rights but has also shown a reluctance in recent months to take up new cases on the scope of the right to bear arms.
Can you share a meaningful number of examples showing Democrats with guns standing up to neo-fascists?
Because while your comment has an air of sensibility, the news stories that I’ve seen over the decades give the impression that the Americans who choose to own guns to protect their rights are overwhelmingly supporters of the very fascists that are in the spotlight now. I would love reason to believe otherwise, but since I don’t have one, I am skeptical of your argument.

Here’s a few examples:

Historical examples:
Lumbee tribe vs KKK
Abolitionists & the 1860 “Race Riots” in Grinnell, Iowa
None of those are examples of people using firearms to stand against tyranny. Not even at a small scale, let alone a meaningful one.
(Note that racist organisations are not governments. They’re awful, but they are not fascism and do not constitute tyranny.)
